It is flu/cold epidemic time in Western Washington so the doctors say I need to remain homebound until I go into remission, so my husband is doing it all, while I explode in anger.
Any suggestions on how to handle prednisone? Is this normal?

HI...BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU GO OFF OF PREDISONE...WHEN I TOOK MY LAST PILL AT AROUND 6PM, AT ABOUT 2AM I WOKE FROM A DEAD SLEEP ITCHING MYSELF TO DEATH..I THOUGHT TO MYSELF "WHAT CAN I TAKE TO RELIEVE THIS?"...I STARTED TAKING BENEDRIL ANDFINALLY AFTER ABOUT 4 HOURS IT DID RELIEVE IT...SO IF I WERE YOU I WOULD MAKE SURE I HAD SOME KIND OF ALERGY MEDICINE ON HAND...ALSO, I'VE READ THAT IT MAKE YOU GAIN WEIGHT...NOT A GOOD PILL IN MY OPINION...JUST THOUGHT I LET YOU KNOW....HOWEVER, IT DID RELIEVE MY BRONCHITIS...
